As Jake said.... with the addition of....
Make sure that you have proper earth grounds for your power, and the
HAM rigs/shack. That will go a long way towards eliminating RFI. Make
sure that all the bonding screws in the furnace are clean and tight,
make sure that the furnace has a proper ground also.
When I put the shack together, I drove a seperate 8ft copper ground
rod, and silver brazed #6 solid copper to it, then silver brazed the
wire to the copper ground buss on the back of the bench. All equipment
grounded.....no problem.

As you describe your setup it does meet USA National Electrical Code.
Your home should have ONLY one earth connection, not two!
Actually as I live in a lightening prone area, my home has several earth
grounds as do most of the other buildings in the area.
As you describe it, your house presumably has the electrical service
panel grounded to an 8 feet long ground rod where the service enters the
house.
The main service panel has 2 ground rods tied to the same buss, The TV
cable entrance has a seperate earth ground, as does the telephone
entrance, and the sub panel in the garage.
You seem to have added a second 8 feet ground rod to your home
specifically for the Ham station.
Yes and that one too.
Check with a local electrician for specific compliance issues.
done did... the sparky is the one that put the extra rods in for the
service entrance and the garage sub panel, and the city inspector signed
off on it.

You bonded all the grounds, eh?
no, the RF grounds are not bonded to the power grounds.
